US soon will ban Deepseek. Too good and too cheap to compete

Never underestimate China, but unfortunately the USA and the West clearly underestimated China. That four-decade rapid rise of China and the lifting of 800 million Chinese out of poverty should have been a lesson learnt, but arrogance gets in the way.

The bigger problem is still trying to flog a dying horse that could not compete and expecting it to win the race. The Chinese have already won most races it entered and competed in, save for the last high-end chip and AI race. But the writing is already on the wall. The AI competition is not a sure-win race for the USA, with Chinese AI innovators coming up with comparatively cheap and competitive AI platforms that are cannibalizing the earnings of USA tech giants.

Now there is talk about a ban on DeepSeek in the USA coming. The adoption of DeepSeek's AI open-source platform is causing huge losses for the multi-billion tech giants of the USA. They are tottering and needed the USA Government to save them by banning open-source AI from Chinese companies. I guess this is the usual modus operandi of the USA Government. Where it cannot compete, it will demonize and ban using the template 'National Security' excuse. Or enact laws to take over such companies operating in the USA, just like Tik Tok.
